This week's episode of The Fourth Leg features the return of one of the “NC3 originals,” Paul Bracken from Yale University.

We take a deep dive into the substance of his paper, “Communication Disruption Attacks on NC3,” which argues that states must do more to delineate intentions in attacking communications systems in order to avoid inadvertent nuclear conflict. Dr. Bracken also shares insight into the beginnings of his career and how he came to work for Herman Kahn for a decade at the Hudson Institute.
